CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of cooking performance – low setting (30%), cooking performance – high setting (30%), and ease of use (40%).

Cooking performance on low score View more details.

The corned beef test, with standard-sized pieces of corned silverside, checks the appliance's ability to cook a dish at a low temperature over an extended period of time (eight hours). The dish is then scored for appearance and texture, with deductions for dark or dried-out areas, overcooked texture or food stuck to the pot.

Cooking performance on high score View more details.

The chilli shredded beef test (with dried beans) establishes how well the appliance can cook a dish at high temperatures over a shorter time (five hours) without food sticking to the bottom. The dish is scored for appearance and texture, with deductions for dark or dried-out areas, overcooked texture or food stuck to the pot.

Ease of use score View more details.

How easy the cookers are to assemble, store and clean. We also consider the external temperature of the cooker surface, handles and controls during operation.

Food temperature at end of cooking time (low / high) View more details.

Food must be above 60°C (or cooler than 5°C) to avoid harmful bacteria growth. Don't keep food in the slow cooker for too long once it's cooked.
